skip default home screen on nuvi 265??

 

Good evening folks.

(first post)

I'm wondering if anyone's succeeded at changing the default home screen on the 265WT (or on other models based on the same core code).

What I mean is this: I've hard-wired the unit into momma's car. Each time she gets in and starts the car, the GPS boots up and brings her to the home screen where she has to pres "View Map" to get to the live map view.

In other words, the default home screen (once it's done booting...and once the warning screen times out) is the screen that has two choices: "Where to?" and "View map" (along with two more buttons for volume and tools).

What she'd really like is to have the unit set so that goes right to the live map view, without requiring her to touch "View map" each and every time she gets in the car.

I realize that because this is not a "car unit" it's not designed (from a GUI standpoint) to do what she wants it to do.

Nonetheless, I'm hoping someone on this forum has had this same desire, and has figured out how to make the unit jump right to the live view of the map.

Thanks.

Map View

Simply put, start driving. Once you reach a preset speed, the unit will bring up the map. Just what the speed is, I'm not certain, I think it is around 20 MPH.

Afraid not

Afraid there is no option but to tap the View Map icon to get to the map screen at start up.

The TomTom units default to the map screen and you have to tap the screen in order to input a destination (Where to? on the Nuvi)
